I went and hit one of my favorite spots along the banks of the Ohio River today and did really well. I found the little Dart Point about 20 minutes after I got there. It was laying out completely exposed about a foot from the waters edge. The Dovetail(at least I think it's a Dove) was just peaking out of the sand base first. I actually got down on my knees and said a little prayer before pulling it out and then I let out a loud whoop when I saw it was whole. It has a nicely ground base so I figure it's a Dove. Any other suggestions are welcomed. My last find was the black Kirk. It had the entire blade showing and when I brushed the sand back I saw the notches and knew it was whole. I also found two Knifes and a little Scraper. Most everything I find on this beach is very highly polished from the wave action and these are no different. The Kirk is smooth as glass and the Dove is polished a little as well. Both Knives are very highly polished.

That is some WILD stuff ! Especially the flag on the black point  If the degree of polishing is any indication of how long it's been in the water, the Carmel-colored one (Paoli chert) (?) must have been made back when there were dinosaurs ! Neat items !!! |

Nice finds Steve, quality points for sure. The black piece sort of looks like a pinetree?

I thought that too when I first saw it, but I really think it's a Kirk instead. The tangs aren't pronounced enough for a Pine Tree in my opinion. They are both from basically the same time period so there's not much difference in the two types. |

Neat items !!! The "flag"  in the black point looks like the cross section of a fossil crinoid stem...and given its location and the fossil, that chert is older than dinosaurs! Very cool two for one! |

Thanks John, I appreciate that. Also, sorry if I got a little out of line, but that just took me off guard a little bit this morning and I may have responded a bit harshly. I just can't figure out where that is coming from with him. |
